Monday, April 9, Pattaya C.C. – Stableford
We had some amazing scores in today considering the greens on the front nine were the quickest we have probably played on and the back nine very, very slow. The fairways were also very hard with a lot of sand in places.
Dennis Scougall shot his best round for some time, winning division 1 with 39 points. Andy Oz took second with 36, Bob Poole was third on 35 and Paul Butler placed fourth with 33.
Alan Bissell, with 37 points, won division 2 ahead of Leo Adam in second on 35. Frank Grainger was third with 32 points and Rick Assi beat Theo Bahrt 10/8 on a back-six count-back after they both shot 31 points.
Near pins went to (Div. 1) Bob Poole, Paul Butler and Dennis Scougall, and (Div. 2) Theo Bahrt and Frank Grainger.
Paul Butler birdied the 16th in division 1 for the only ‘2’ of the day.
Wednesday, April 11, The Emerald – Stableford
An almost identical cut as of Monday in the two divisions and after a manual cut of one shot to Dennis Scougall he returned to win division 1 with 38 points. Paul Butler was second two points behind and Dave Horne beat Jerry Sweetnam 18/15 after they both came in with 34 overall.
Gil Phillips was the winner in division 1 with 35 points, Steve Harris came second on 27 and Andres Van De Laan took third with 26.
The course here today was in very good condition.
Nearest the pins were claimed by (Div 1) Bob Comartin, Paul Butler and Dave Horne, and (Div 2) Frank Grainger, Steve Harris and Andres Van De Laan.
We had no ‘2’s in either division so rollover to Pattana on April 23.
